I was told that it is a B1G policy, but it's up to each University if they want it enforced. So I think we're both right. Seems like a lot of unneeded drama for a backup point guard.

...which is why Beilein was a clown to start this whole mess. Spike was an undersized, slow guard who was--at best--a MAC-level talent. And that was before the surgery on both hips. Beilein attempting to restrict his transfer was a stupid move, on top of being an incredibly selfish one. That he caved a few days later puts even more egg on Beilein's face, as he's admitting it wasn't a principled move at the outset.

1) Spike has always been a classy kid, so it's no surprise that his family would take the high road. That doesn't mean they're thrilled about being dumped and still bossed around.

2) The principle of the topic doesn't require a particular emotion from the player to register in an ethical debate.

UM fans are no longer concerned with ethics, just legality.

BS Max. If they choose to not renew his scholarship they can't at the same time hold him as an indentured servant. And this talk from up north of blaming the Big Ten rules is also BS. This was all on Beilein and TSUN.

They're not "holding him as an indentured servant." He's free to go wherever he wants, but in order to accept an additional (5th) year of scholarship aid he has to live with the limitations placed by Beilein.

There are two issues here: (1) whether he had a right to expect to be invited back to Michigan's team and (2) whether he has a right to transfer to wherever the hell he wants to go after Michigan tosses him aside. Are you really suggesting that he has no right to expect Michigan to let him decide where he wants to go, after they decide they don't want him anymore?

As I've said, UM gave him four years of paid-for college education. He wants a fifth. I think UM is within its rights to limit him as to where he can get a paid fifth year.

Now, I think it's stupid, as Albrecht is a marginal talent and would have minimal impact from a competitive standpoint, but I have no problem with the ethics.

Within their rights? Maybe based on contractual language, but what other justification can you offer?
